Welcome Bartosz Kuśmierz to IOTA

Bartosz Kuśmierz
is a researcher at Wrocław Univesity of Science and Technology. He is
currently working on his PhD in physics on the topic of symmetric
polynomials theory in the fractional quantum Hall effect. He holds M.Sc.
on fractional quantum Hall Jack states from Wrocław Univesity of
Science and Technology as well as a B.Sc. in mathematics.

His
background is in physical and economical systems simulations, he hopes
to bring this knowledge to the IOTA project. His main goal is to
simulate the Tangle and make it possible to better understand the DAG
based systems. He wants to establish values of parameters that allow for
the smoothest performance of the Tangle and find the best ways to
protect against attacks on the system.

On joining IOTA

I
find cryptocurrencies to be one of the most interesting technologies of
our lifetime. The greatest achievement of Bitcoin was a way of finding
consensus without referring to any central body. However Bitcoin,
although groundbreaking, is not without its flaws. Now, when the
limitations of the first cryptocurrency are more and more apparent, it
is clear that we need a new milestone. I believe IOTA can be a needed
breakthrough. IOTA with zero transaction costs, scalability and no
division between users and validators is a game changer and has a full
potential to become cryptocurrency of the future. I’m very excited to be
a part of this amazing project!

Bartosz
independently conducted very impressive research on the Tangle which
automatically qualified him for a research position. As the project
matures and adoption grows it is imperative that we optimize and learn
as much about the Tangle’s properties in different environments and
topologies, having great analytic minds like Bartosz working intensively
alongside our other IOTA researchers and mathematicians is the key to
building strong pillars underpinning IOTA and thus unlocking the true
potential of the pioneering technology which it is. Give him a warm
welcome!
